Finding My Father

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. This is the only one I will do for the entire story; I'm lazy that way.

Chapter One: Questions

I love my mothers. They are so kind to me. I have been living with them for as long as I can remember.

Today started out like an ordinary day for us. One of my moms went to cook breakfast and the other helped me get dressed.

"Good morning, Honey." Said one of my moms who was carrying me into the kitchen to my other mom. She paused her stirring of some scrambled eggs to kiss her mate lightly and casually on the cheek.

We sat down and ate, then my mom who had cooked breakfast came outside to play with me and the other one cleaned up. Soon all three of us were outside and we were playing tag. That is always fun. They say that I am very fast for a fiver year old. My moms are fast too, not as quick as me though.

I wonder if the taller one would be as fast as me if she didn't lug around that huge boomerang.

We played for a few hours until they were REALLY tired out. We lay under the shade of a tree while they caught their breath.

"Mom?" I asked contently.

"Yes?" "Yes?" they both responded, still panting.

"Where did I come from?"

The one with the boomerang's eyes bulged. The other one seemed kind of saddened by the question. I flattened my ears against my skull when I saw the way they reacted. I didn't want to make my mom sad.

"Well you see..." started the one without the boomerang.

"Ehm, Miroku... are you sure you want to know?" said the one with the boomerang.

Curiousity got the better of me and I nodded my head slightly.

"Well, when a man and a woman have a deep friendship and they fall in love, then they get married... and then um..." The one with the boomerang looked down at the ground and blushed.

I was even more intrigued. The other one continued for her. 'why is this so hard?' I wondered.

"Then they kiss a lot and..."

"And then the man's cells mix with the woman's"

"And then she gets pregnant and a baby comes out and grows and that's how you came to be."

"I'm confused, Mommy. Which one of you is the woman?" They looked t each other scrounging around for a good answer.

"We are both women." Said the one without a boomerang.

"Oh, Okay." I said, satisfied for the moment.

Later that night, as my parents were tucking me into bed, I asked a question... a question that had been weighing on my mind all day. "Mommy?"

"Yes?" "Yes?"

"What happened to the man who made me? Why isn't he here anymore?"

Both of my parents stopped. My mom who didn't have a boomerang seemed the most upset. There was a look in her eyes that I can't find a word for. She was hurt, very hurt.

"Aren't you happy here?! Without him?" She seemed desperately upset, like she was pleading to me to retract the question.

I nodded.

My other mom moved and put her hand gently on the other mom's shoulder. "We knew this day would come, Kagome. We should let Miroku see his father."
